So it is now official. Since a few days some of us have seen the message when trying to do our research:"Keyword Tool will no longer be available in the next few months. To get keyword ideas, try the new Keyword Planner, which makes keyword research even easier."

What does this mean for most of us? Well I love to follow Matt Cutts advice and blog, and I try to develop my instincts and intuition as a internet marketer, by reading between the lines. Most will agree that any unnatural, or active link building or SEO (search engine optimisation), to manipulate or influence google's (or other search engines) results page (SERP) is cheating, or "blackhat".

But if you are like me, and read between the lines:"To get keyword ideas..." is encouraged by google itself.
Check the screenshot I took:

So maybe unlike others, I love to gather as much information and messages that the expert bloggers send out. We all know we cannot and will not ever know the formulas, codes and algorithms to be on page 1, and thats GREAT! Because I still remember being a kid and looking for hot wheels or disney movies with my friends and instead learning about the human body... things that made not only the computer super slow, but banning kids from the public library. Just like us, internet marketing consultants who take our jobs seriously, search engines try to keep the world wide web a relevant place to find things.

But as keyword tools are provided by those same companies, one can only think how much relevant research is too much, but can no longer think that that knowledge is prohibited or taboo.

Well that's my 2 cents (funny how this 2 cents expression is so 2012...since pennies in canada are slowly going to be removed from circulation). Will you use this keyword tool, or do you have other suggestions ? Let me know please.
